Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?
No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.
Which characteristic best describes how nuclear decay differs from nuclear fission?
Energy
An alternative to oil resources but it is requires careful disposal of the radioactive waste which is produced?
Plutionium, Uranium and/or Americum can all be used to fuel a nuclear fission power station
Good and bad effect of nuclear fission and fusion?
fission crest radio active wastes wich are harmeful to life. they create tumors and we are running out of space to store the waste. fission crest radio active wastes wich are harmeful to life. they create tumors and we are running out of space to store the waste.
Which one of these two process is still used today Nuclear Fission or Fusion?
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
How many years has nuclear fission been used?
About seventy years.
How can nuclear fission be used?
In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Is Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants?
Yes
Why nuclear fission better?
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
Can nuclear fission be used anywhere in the world?
yes on condition of the availability of the necessary nuclear fission device (nuclear reactors or critical assemblies).
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What does the future hold with nuclear fission?
nuclear fission will not be popular because it hasn't ever been popular and barley anyone has ever heard of it. it will be banned because it is not used responsibly. ~the scientist bill nie :)
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
